[MegaBlackisBeautiful]

Karen killed that high note

[MegaBlackisBeautiful]

i love it when they do we learn at 1:07-1:15

[mdna72]

If they do another album.They should have Denise.don't we serve God of a second chance.

[iluvmyboba]

Young, Raw Clark Sisters.

[ELIPOUL]

Where can i get the unedited version ,when I was a child my mom had the edited version.. Can anyone help me???? This is the Gospel Video.

[Just869]

@ELIPOUL Legends of Gospel & Oh Happy Day!!

[touchnagree1]

come see r daners they r so bless i know u will love them pass the word 

[havenoname1111]

Who did that at 3:47?

[DiAcorea]

@havenoname1111 That was Denise. After looking at their other performances on that particular film, it appears that she was hoarse.

[RikoIsHere]

3:13 Can she still do that?

[mechar64]

karen was so beautiful

[Jazmineluvsgospel]

Starting at 2:23 ,, Am I the only one who thinks Twinkie did something to make Karen Wanna laugh!!??

[civicplayer]

1:35...the way Jacky, Rinda, and Denise clap in unison is such a clark moment!!!!

[crunkface11]

SANGIN 4 REAL

[Mrsaxophone100]

It seem like some people think that Denise is Kiki in this but she wasnt even born yet in this

[DiAcorea]

@Mrsaxophone100 I think what people are remarking on is the resemblance between KiKi and her mother (though I personally believe that she looks more like her Aunt Twinkie).

[Mrsaxophone100]

@DiAcorea yeah i think she look like Twinkie 2

[Just869]

@DiAcorea I couldnt agree more..

[Refining1]

@DiAcorea I've always thought she looked the most like Twinkie too. Like she should be Twinkie's daughter. lol

[rch1jr]

@DiAcorea Denise, Twinkie, and Karen look like triplets

[jddrew1000]

She looks so young but such a big a big voice she may be like 25 or something. She started when she was 13 when they were recording

[GreaterhOLYmEMBER]

ive noticed that denise has a lisp lol great though

[lovingmy4babies1]

This is actually one of the few clips ive seened with Denise and she does a wonderful job with them. So what she had children and she wasn't married I understand it was against their religion but God is the God of a second chance and I think they should give her a another chance and forgive their sister too many years have went by and we never see Denise and the last album they did Denise should have been on it and on the unsung show and as well as their family christmas special!!!

[CeddyJam]

OK...is there any other group?!? They're voices just soar!

[dncnvllteal7]

does anybody else hear dorinda KILLING it in the background?!?! She is tearing up that "we come" part!

[DiAcorea]

@dncnvllteal7 LOL...that's my part!!

[dncnvllteal7]

@DiAcorea MINE TOO!! LoL. Whenever I get together with my friends, if we sing some Clark Sisters together, I always sing Dorinda's parts. LoL. It's like the secret weapon of the group. LoL

[zingalom]

@dncnvllteal7 I miss the Dorinda from these days. But she's still awesome

[zingalom]

@dncnvllteal7 Sho' nuff! lol

[Just869]

@dncnvllteal7 Sho Nuff!!



[Clemsonshawty]

has anyone seen them without weave(other than Jacky) in the recent years? I would love to see them without weave

[Vocellist2010]

@Clemsonshawty Karen does more often now

[012Key]

@Clemsonshawty Karen wears her hair out more now as well. It's about shoulder length and it's dyed like a goldish color. very pretty :)

[dewill74]

omg I miss these songs!!!

[Brittany1908]

Denise is a mighty clapper! LOL...Loves them all!

[Divao10]

omg look at their hair lol wow u culd tell thiss was waaaayyyyyy back in the day , the sing great tho

[THPATTERSON1]

The purpose of the music ministry is to lead the body in praises to the Lord. I love the Clark Sisters. The Lord has annointed them and they have spent their lives using their gift to bless him. I just feel really sad when ppl pick apart every note and sound instead of just praising the Lord. The only perfectly pitched song is being song in heaven folks! Thank you Lord for the gift of the Clark and Moss families.

[MsManiki]

Old school Clark sisters, my favorite song! These lyrics are so real and I relate no matter what time it is!

"Though we are tried in the fire, we come out as pure gold! Thats what trials do when we hold on to Jesus through the firery trials of life, we let Him make us into something better, He will make us into something that will shine for Him. I know the Lord is real, where would I be if it had not been for the Lord? I dont even want to think about it.

[TheClarkSistersFan30]

i love this song!! :)

[nikkidoug]

One of my favorite....

[MiiZZPOOH94]

Denise KNOW she be jammin with that "dip && clap" @ 2:55!And Karen had me laughing(3:27) and praising God through this WHOLE vid!! :) GREATNESS!!

[ty32514]

@MiiZZPOOH94 that dip and clap kills me everytime lol!

[decook]

Is this performance on the Oh Happy Day DVD? I have the Gospel DVD, but this performance of the Clark Sisters is not on there. It only has "Name it, Claim it,","Hallellujah", and "Is my living in Vain".

[mrliveth]

Karen playin with this song.... lord have mercy! this is the clark sisters I love!

[msr18924]

This is one of my favorite Clark Sister's song's and performance...

[tarbaby77]

When I was a little girl in the 80's my sister found this concert on VHS at the library and brought it home. It was the first time I ever seen or heard the Clark Sisters. My sisters and I watched that video and were forever changed. I have loved, LOVED, the Clarke Sisters ever since. This clip brings back very fond memories. Thanks for posting!

[kcs4life]

cant nobody growl like twinkie and karen!SANG KAREN!

[phatboysbakery]

Oh my LORD! This is my song-my song! This is and was THE SONG! All us Clark fans go crazy over this song (old and new fans.) The song speaks the scripture and the truth!

[msr18924]

Thanks for posting this video..fell in love with this song...please subscribe to my channel..nothings happening now but soon it will be.. May God bless you have a great day!

[THERIGHTREVEREND]

CLAP ya'll, CLAP!!!!

[MrKwEsI91]

oooooo @3:11-3:21 Go Karen!!!! Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

[pfeld]

NOBODY BETTER THAN THE CLARK SISTERS.

[KKing]

Clarks were going hard on this 1! lol

[radical4christ100]

In this video Twinkie and Kierra Sheard Look just alike. if Kierra were singing in this video u would c they luk just a like

[thmonts]

I remember I fell in love with the Clark Sisters when I saw this concert on PBS when I was about in the 3rd or 4th grade in elementary school.

[77finest]

THEY KILLED THIS VIDEO

[EnViidaPoet]

karen and Denise look just alike. i am in luv with this performance

[pinkyndetroit]

I keep watching over and over again. Sidebar: Was that the hairstyle of the day back then? LOL I wonder if any of the 5 objected to having to get their hair like that. (just curious)

[bowtri]

That was the style had to have that flip and flowers or barrett in the side & rock the baby hair too LOL

[pinkyndetroit]

Karen  is AMAZING in this vid. Wow!

[ejame002]

Is is bad that I remember my mom having one of those dresses when I was a little kid?

[allaboutmykids05]

Get it Dorinda @ 4:26! Lol

[jdot104]

Listening to this in 2010, it's crazy how Karen sounds EXACTLY the same! It's the anointing...nothing but the anointing...

[TheMSUBeauty11]

exactly , nothing but the anointing God has placed on her life...

[aynota]

omg im about to hyperventilate bcuz something is wrong with this video!

[ladyjmk20]

i rebuke in the name of jeus lol

[corlos19]

due to climate change maybe or just been singing alot

[Rhythmangel24]

those dresses....LOL

[lioneltak]

Great lyrics + great singers = God glorious exaltation, edification, inspiration and shonuf steadfastification.

[wdmcmill]

wat happened to this video...i been looking for this for some time now

[brownshood]

i like this version

[kbebe22]

i've watched this like 8 times in a row now. i love this song. it's such an inspiration.

[tholden]

3:45 Loving Dorinda's "We GOT to come!" and wondering who hit that high note at 3:47?

[Shelmojai]

I love it too. The high note at 3:47 was Denise. Denise and Karen were sopranos, but they all have increditable ranges.

[DiAcorea]

Yes...that was Denise. I think she was hoarse on this song...when I think back to when they performed "Is My Living In Vain", I noticed that she does something similar.

[adSanders1963]

@DiAcorea I love the high note. It was perfectly placed by God!

[melodyfromhvn]

@adSanders1963 I'd have to agree! I always thought it was intentional

[LoveDeLaCooL]

you can really see how Keke looks so much like Karen in this clip.

[DiAcorea]

LOL...I think she looks just like Twinkie, myself. She looks like she should have been Twinkie's child!

[LoveDeLaCooL]

lol. true. the way she's performing at 2:00 looks like Keke now on stage. they make the same expressions lol

[LittleMsBeautifuLL]

I sware Twinkie and KiKi could be twins!!!

[mulusonic]

lol. she does look like twinkie. but my nephews are the same way. they look more like me than they do their dad (my brother)lol. why was this not on the DVD?? they cut a bunch of good stuff out!

[a1213w]

@DiAcorea IF I DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM ... I WOULD THIHNK THAT TWINKIE IS KI KI MOTHER .. SHE LOOKS JUUUUUST LIKE HER

[lovepigz2007]

@LoveDeLaCooL WOW I said the same thing when I saw this. She really really does. I guess with Karen bein closer to Kekes age in this vid, you can really see the resemblance alot better.

[ImmeasurableOne]

@LoveDeLaCooL Ki Ki looks exactly like Twinkie when she was young. Karen's son, does look like his father, but he resembles his grandfather(Karen's Dad) more..Watch the clark sisters unsung...

[nextceo2k2]

denise is clapping those hands too hard..lol. she rockin boy.

[DiAcorea]

I agree wholeheartedly. Yes, it is common knowledge among those who are close to the family, and it's something that they made public as well. However, considering that Jacky acknowledges the late Elder Elbert Clark as her father, the technicalities of how she became a "Clark Sister" is irrelevant. Focus on the gifts and, more importantly, the GIVER of the gifts, that the Clark Sisters possess.

[corlos19]

ppl denise is the first clark sister. jacky do not have the same daddy.mattie was married to a cullum. mattie moss cullum clark..

[snowman1919]

Although it's hardly a secret why must this come up in EVERY clark sister post? Is it necessary information? No. It's mess. That what it is. Plz cease and desist immediately and find something more appropriate to discuss. These are anointed ministers. Is this info really building the kingdom of heaven? Probably not.

[jimboski65]

Amen to that. It's gospel, not gossip! Let's use the comment box to promote the goodness and blessings of the message of Christ. Thanks snowman

[Blackqu33n1]

yo nobody is like the clark sisters

[23374645]

this sounds like the song karen redid on one of her albums. they did a good job, its just this old version of pure gold is better. you really can hear the harmony of the clark sisters . twinkie another awesome song GOD has given. karen what an awesome job leading this song. twinkie keep writing. every song youve written i have sung through some of my most trying times. keep those anointed songs coming.GOD BLESS THE CLARK SISTER THEY ARE THE TRUE LEGENDS OF A WOMENS GROUP.

[HeBSingN]

sang KAREN AND DORINDA!!! dorinda was right up there with karen! i loved every bit of it

[crunkface11]

Amen we come out the fire as pure gold

[deatha44]

a song with the gospel in it? Now THATS gospel!

Bump the rifs and the skills....the powerof the sopken word surmouts any of that.

[EJ3558]

So Karen ALWAYS had that fire she gets when she sings this song! lol

And I just got the platinum joke Melody made....lol :D

[fonzayo]

SLAVERY was our trial in the fire! With OBAMA we have won. Praise God for the Victory, my fellow African Americans! God Bless America.

[VoomVoomSnap123]

stop fighting on youtube xD

20F - MSG me on M.S.N. ID is in my profile. BJ

[betterthaneverbeen]

go to clarksisterstv and you will find hallelujah and all the songs they perform during this event.

[goldenladyp]

Hey Melody...Platinum...LOL...she sure did!

They took the word of God and expanded the meaning of it so that all could grab hold and be delivered. I believe that's why the Clark/Moss family prospers today. Those of us who are singers/worshippers know the feeling of when the Holy Ghost sings THROUGH you. Karen did this on this classic and still does.

[JustasIam147]

This is wonderful. Where did you get it?

[iluvmyboba]

There is a process to our fulfillingness. There is significance to every experience.

THE TRUTH, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!!!!

[kpdiva]

Praise the Lord!

[kpdiva]

OMG this is one of those historic moments that Im so glad was captured.I just wish that I could of been there in the audience.I luv me

some Clark Sisters.

[jayrock313]

GON KAREN!

[idris2014]

oh yes!!!

[aris9aris9]

Oh but nice videio

[aris9aris9]

can you post name it claim it & Hallelujah if you have them please.

[iluvmyboba]

i love these vocally gifted sisters!!!

[clarksistazfan07]

karen is a boss in ha own way and she b ripin these songs

[elderroberts1]

They sanging tha h--- out dis song!!!!!!!!

[melodyfromhvn]

She sung it until it turned to Platinum!!! LOL

[rch1jr]

LOL

[elderroberts1]

Denise need 2 come back!!!!!!!

[DiAcorea]

I think that is the wish of every fan of The Clark Sisters.

[jaycrumb16]

I am a true clark fan... I know the clarks personally but I never want to bring up denise.... What happened to her?

[DiAcorea]

Evangelist Dr. Denise Clark-Bradford is alive and well, and is diligent in her own ministry. She is a proud wife, mother, and grandmother.

[Lewis2586]

She is at AIM Right as i speak! I cant believe it!

[MzShugr]

hold the phone! You know them "personally" but you never wanna bring her up. She aint dead. if you "know them" you aint seen her around?

[jaycrumb16]

Denise is in Cali bro. And that's no where I mean last time I knew of near Detroit. And yeah I know them personally but it is not my business to get in their personal business to share with ignorant web fans like you. Don't need to validate myself. Not even gonna waste my time.

[MzShugr]

um, it was more a question like...WOW, you know her but you never see her? Let's not go there on the ignorant tip. I just responded to what you posted. No one asked you to validate yourself, you are the one who responded. You are just the one who bragged about knowing them and then you were asking "web fans" if they know where she is.

[jaycrumb16]

im sorry... like for real. you have to excuse me I just had a lil hell in me. But you right. But it was the way you asked the question. I sensed a little sarcasm hint the quotation marks. But I have never seen denise or heard the sisters talk about her. And you would not believe the stories these people can make up. I was trying to read all of the different response. Thats why i get a little offensive. People start rumors about the family that are absurd. But again I apologize.

[MzShugr]

oh, I am not about to start a rumor about the people, I think they are some of the most AMAZING voices that ever hit the gospel field. I never met them, never been to one of their concerts though I would have given a body part to see them perform. I grew up with my grandmother listening to them i guess when they were very young and Denise was my favorite voice, but I never realized until later that she wasn't singing anymore. I was so little I guess it really didn't hit me.

[idris2014]

i just love this soooo much cause karen is singing like she'll never sing again

[DiAcorea]

She ALWAYS sings like she'll never sing again...LOL

[idris2014]

where did u get this video from

[VICTORIOUSLAUREN]

SAAANNG sisters!!! I love this song...I feel the power coming from every word...God is good!

[aris9aris9]

sing clark sisters

[vashottest]

wasn't that Denise singing soprano while Karen was leading? sounds like her to me

[131413]

yeah

[Kinfolk68]

you could really here twinkie out of all the sisters and she sounded amazing

[Kinfolk68]

twinkie sounded amazing!!

[Junkay2]

My gosh, can Karen sang the mess out of a song or what?!

[aynota]

YES SHE DID

[aynota]

YES SHE DID

[lauryee143]

this is beautifull. love u clark sis,karen i love u.

[Gioblu]

OMGoodness! Isn't this the same place where the Tri-City Finale was held?

[DiAcorea]

This was filmed at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California

[Gioblu]

Do u know if it's the same place though? It would be so ironic if that was the same place where Karen tow' a song up, like she did here in the 80's & tow' another song up like she did on the Tri- City Finale in 2006 on the same stage 2 decades later.

[sirblackleon]

get it momma karen

[DiAcorea]

Ain't she bad??? LOL

[dtp8806]

That's some good SANGIN' right there. 3:30 and 4:00 have got to be my favorite parts for this version, although the song in all of its versions are vicious.

[DiAcorea]

To this day, I still can't understand how this performance did not make the final edit of the "Gospel" movie. It's actually my favorite!

[nick7477]

Karen rules!!!!!!!

[Nadia043]

Does anyone have the video Hallelujah that they did at this concert? I so Looooove that song. This song is also on my top list. It used to be on here but I can't find it anymore, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[stmark93]

I know, I wont sayn it like she lost all her range, I was just sayin that her sound has changd but she can definetly sing and preach, she is a awsome preacher!

[collegesinger]

I understood what you were saying. She is the bomb!

[stmark93]

Did yall hear Dorinda keepn all da way up wit Karen, is a shame her voice iz da only one that has deteriorated over da years.

[Reshard18]

She can still hit notes like that!!!!!!! Her voice is just much more seasoned now!!! I like Dorinda's Raspy Tone.

[adSanders1963]

@Reshard18 And I love Jacky's sultry voice. Adds a lot to mix!

[vocalmajor08]

is that Denise?..

[rch1jr]

Yep!

[DiAcorea]

That is Denise...one of the few performances with all five sisters still in circulation.

[HezekiahCOGIC]

Who's Denise?

[jclef614]

Denise is the one standing to Karen's right. She's the second oldest Clark Sister.

[collegesinger]

I love this song they have always been the bomb.

[dmarie401962]

You are the complete BOMB!

We used to rock this song just like the Clark Sisters. Thanks for adding such a CLASSIC!

You are a TRUE FAN! Much Love!

[lataishaaa]

I absolutely love this song!!! but what happened 2 the vides like this? like: Is my living in vain,Hallelujah,and Name It,Claim it?

[rch1jr]

I' like to know as well. But either no one is paying attention or they just dont seem to know what happened, or they just dont care. They took alot of Clark Sisters videos off youtube

[THERIGHTREVEREND]

They sell both the GOSPEL and OH HAPPY DAY videos on VHS and DVD at God's World in Detroit. (yeah, that's a plug for my people...lol)

[brwnsuga324]

What happened to the other videos like this one??

[aris9aris9]

thank god for the person that put this video no here it's the last one of it's kind

[latonya1500]

i think karen and twinkie sing alike but twinkie is multi-toned you can tell she arranges most of the songs.....but they all are eqaullly blessed...thank you jesus.....!!!!!!!

[Darneloh]

I luv this one too but not as much as Mane it and claim it.

[tomuch45]

i love it ....

[lanard1994]

look at how they all look at twinkie to cue them in. awesome.

[floridadiva]

Dorinda and Karen going back and forth on the "Tho we're tried in the fire, we come..." Lord have mercy. They sound so much alike at times.

[crazyman0686]

This is my song

[JayCroix]

You already know I love this, eh? :o)
